Participants meet in a small group for 6 weeks and get to know others through fun and meaningful discussion and community projects and meals. After signing up you will be placed in a group with a student facilitator and 4-6 other students. Groups meet the weeks of September 26th through October 31st for 1 hour per week in person.
